Plasma N-terminal protype-B natriuretic peptide levels in risk assessment of patients with mitral regurgitation secondary to ischemic and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Assessment of plasma NT-proBNP allows for stratifying patients with functional MR regardless of their degree of valvular incompetence, and identified patients with the highest risk of cardiac mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utility of N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide in elderly patients

TL;DR: This study showed that NT-proBNP had excellent negative predictive value for systolic dysfunction and significant valve disorders in very elderly patients, which increased significantly in systolics dysfunction, valve heart disease, and atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide concentrations in patients with valvular heart disease

TL;DR: Despite LV remodelling, plasma BNP concentrations are often normal in patients with VHD, and mild elevations of BNP occur with LA dilatation in the presence of normal LV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natriuretic Peptides in Clinical Practice.

TL;DR: Natriuretic peptides have been reviewed for their updated information and new recommendations in heart failure and also potential role of these biomarkers in the management of various clinical conditions have been addressed in the form of expert opinion based on the available data in the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

B-type natriuretic peptide concentrations and myocardial dysfunction in critical illness.

TL;DR: It appears that BNP assay offers complementary information to conventional approaches for the evaluation of cardiac dysfunction, and multi-marker strategies may prove valuable in prognostication and evaluation of therapy in a greater variety of illnesses.

Recommendations for quantitation of the left ventricle by two-dimensional echocardiography. American Society of Echocardiography Committee on Standards, Subcommittee on Quantitation of Two-Dimensional Echocardiograms.

TL;DR: It is the opinion that current technology justifies the clinical use of the quantitative two-dimensional methods described in this article and the routine reporting of left ventricular ejection fraction, diastolic volume, mass, and wall motion score.

Localization and mechanism of secretion of B-type natriuretic peptide in comparison with those of A-type natriuretic peptide in normal subjects and patients with heart failure.

TL;DR: Examination of the sources and mechanisms of the secretion of BNP in comparison with those of ANP in control subjects and in patients with heart failure concludes that BNP is secreted mainly from the left ventricle in normal adult humans as well as in Patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

Plasma brain natriuretic peptide concentration: impact of age and gender.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of age and gender on plasma brain natriuretic peptide concentration in a population-based study confirmed that discriminatory values for BNP for detection of reduced ejection fraction were higher in women and older persons and were different between the two assays.
